Chapter 11 : Unpleasant reunion

Psycho sat at the bar talking to Makino, she had spent a lot of time with Makino and thought of her as a sister, a feeling that was returned by Makino.

It had been about 3 weeks since Luffy set sail. It was summer, Psycho was now 15 her black ,wavy, hair now reached her hips, and her tanned face was dotted with child like freckles, she wore a simple light blue t-shirt and long black fingerless gloves reaching to just abover her elbow, red shorts and black thigh high socks, she also now wore a pair of long brown boots ending just below her knee.

"Its been so strange without them, I had gotten so used to having them around" Psycho said pausing mid sentance to cough, she had been talking about Luffy leaving.

"Most girls prefere the quiet when there brothers arn't around" Makino giggled handing Psycho a glass of water.

Psycho coughed, and nodded a thanks to Makino, she then reached into her pocket pulling out a letter.

"I almost forgot, Garp want me to give this to you" she handed Makino the letter and took a sip of water, she opened it reading it to herself.

"So...who's it from?" Psycho raised an eybrow questioningly.

"No one" Makino blurted out.

"You get and awfule lot of letters from, No one" she teased, laughing silently.

Psycho coughed, dropping the glass of water she had been drinking and drawing Makinos attention, slight concern creased her features when she looked at Psycho.

"You've had that cough for quite a long time Psycho, mabye you should get it checked"

"You worry too much Makino, I'm fine" she smiled shrugging it off.

When Makino lent over to pick up the glass Psycho dropped, the letter slipped out of her pocket. Psycho picked it up and unfolded it before Makino noticed, a smug smile appeared on her face.

Psycho's smile spread as she read the signiture on the letter.

"I knew it, all the letters have been from Shanks" Psycho said triumphuntly waving the piece of paper in her hand.

Before Makino could object, the sound of the door swinging open caught their attention, a larg man wearing a black lether vest and army green trouseres tucked into black boots, strode into the room, he had long hair that was tied in a low pony tail, his was snnering.

"Hello sir, how can I help you today" Makino askied in her, polite for the coustomer, voice.

"get me some sake" the man said bluntly.

"I'm sorry sir i'm afraid we'er all out of sake" Makino apologized still using her sweet voice.

"Listen here lady, I want sake so thats what you're gonna get me. Unless you want you're little friend here to dissapere" the man growled threateningly placing a hand on psycho's shoulde, Psycho rolled her eyes and chuckled.

"Funny huh kid?!" he bellowed tighting his grip on her shoulder.

Psycho twisted her shoulders, forcing him to losen his grip, she then punched him in the neck forching him to move backwards, he swung at her hitting her in the side of her face and throwing her to the floor.

"You can't beat me kid" He chuckled cracking his nuckles.

Psycho held up her hand a small twister formed on her palm, the air moved into a more ball like shape, speeding up as it did. In just a few seconds there was a small ball of spinning compressed air in her hand, she reached out pushing it into the mans chest.

"Pressure bomb" she said relasing it, the force of it sent the man flying across the room, breaking sevral chairs and into the far wall knocking him unconcious.

"I havn't used the fruits powers in a while, that felt good" Psycho said dusting off her hands.

"Well i guess i should thank you once again, but i wish you could avoid the furniture, they where new chairs" Makino sighed holding up a broken chair leg.

"Sorry I got carried away" Psycho rubbed the back of her neck sheepishly.

Makino let out a small laugh "You better get out of here before this guy wakes up" she gestured to the man slumped agianst the wall, Psycho nodded and waving a small goodbye as she left the bar.

'What am I gonna do now' she woundered sitting on the beach, she lent back in the soft sand using her hands as a pillow, her long black hair fanned out under her, she closed her eyes letting the cool sea brease blow over her as she drifted into a sound sleep.

Psycho woke up to a sharp pain in her side, she opened her eyes revealiling the men standing over her, 'Dam it, theres alot of them' she thought to herself, taking in her situation.

It was almost dark she had slep longer then she had expected, the sun was setting casting shadows over her,about 10 men where standing around her looking down at her, the man she assumed to be the leader kicked her causing another shap pain to run down her side and she gussed he had broken her rib, looking up at him she recongnised somthing fimiliar about his face.

"Remember me sweetheart" he sneered, looking up at his face Psycho noticed the rough look of the man at the scar over his left eye.

"So you've been looking for me all this time huh?" She asked calmly

"Atcually it was just chance we ran into you again, you see my friend here, he just went for a drink and ran into a crazy, grey eyed girl" he chuckled gesturing to one of the men sorounding her, she followed his gaze and spotted the man from the bar eirler, she looked into his eyes and smiled at the brusing on his face, the action resulted in a kick in the ribs.

'It was worth it' she thought to her self.

"So what do you want from me" Psycho said satnding up and facing the man she assumed to be the captian.

"Tell us where Silvers Rayleigh is" he spat.

"Its been over 10 years, I dont know where he is now, even if I did i wouldn't tell you" Psycho stated brushing herself off and searchin for a way through them, two men grabbed her arms holding her still, 'shit, too slow' she mentally slapped her self.

"Then I guess you're comming with us" the captian sneered, the scar over his eye wrinkled with the exppression.

Psycho felt cold metal around her wrists, her body felt heavy and her legs couldn't hold her weingt, she staggered fowards the onlt thing stopping her from falling was the two men gripping her arms.

"You shouldn't show off you little power so often, people will learn to fight it" the man from the bar eirler chuckled, she shot him a deathly look which amused him further.

"sea prisim stone" she mumbled, it was only the second time she had ever touched it, the first had been a few weeks after she had eaten the devil fruit, Ace wanted to show her the effects of it before she lerned the hard way, and until now she had managed to avoide it.

"Take her to the ship boys, we want to be gone before sun rise" she captian ordered, the crew half carrued half dragged Psycho along the beach, she tryed to fight, and although she could bearly move and she was sure on of her ribs were broken she refused to give up.

The crew mangaed to drag her abord there ship, they chained her up in a small room below deck, the room was dark, there where no windows or decorations on the walls, just the heavy looking door in one of the walls, she sat slumped against the wall a piece of cloth tied across her eyes blinding her.

'They took me so easly, i coulden't even fight them' she thought "I'll get out if this Acey, Luffy, I'll keep our promise..."

The ship pulled away from the beach, sailing into the dark away form the island, away from Psychos home.

"...No matter what" she murmered.
